Transport Canada runs its own recall programme. Its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones, so a Canadian owner reading a US-only list is reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.

2009 Mazda MAZDA5 Recall 2010426 25 Nov 2010 8,264 units in Canada

Fuel System

As a result the connector pin may corrode, potentially causing the pin to break and the fuel pump to become inoperative.

2008 Mazda MAZDA5 Recall 2010274 13 Aug 2010 91,000 units in Canada

Steering

On certain vehicles with Electro-Hydraulic Power Assist Steering (EHPAS), rust had formed inside the high-pressure pipe on the power steering system during manufacturing due to improper processing. Rust particles may detach from the pipe walls and enter the motorized power steering pump, causing damage to the pump bearings. As a result, gear lubrication may be reduced, leading to an increased load on the motor. Should this happen, there is the potential for the power steering system to enter the fail safe mode in order to prevent overheating, resulting in the power steering warning lamp to light and the motorized pump to stop which could lead to a loss of power assist and the required steering effort will increase. Correction: Dealers will flush the power steering system and repair as necessary.

If the sliding door is not properly latched, it could open during vehicle operation. Correction: Dealers will replace the right and left sliding door latch modules with updated versions.

2006 Mazda MAZDA5 Recall 2005281 26 Sep 2005 2,510 units in Canada

Other

If certain vehicles are operated at very high RPM levels, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) logic, which is unique to vehicles produced for the North American market, combined with insufficient insulation around the main silencer, can permit an excessive heat build-up in the exhaust system which in the worst case, can cause a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear silencer, install a heat insulator kit, and update the PCM.
